If you have a security system and put up a security system yard sign, put up one for a different manufacturer's security system, so it takes a little longer for them to figure out what to defeat.
Don't put up a "Protected by Smith & Wesson" sign, as thieves often target those houses when they're empty, hoping to steal guns.
If you store account numbers & phone numbers for cards, keep them in a password vault so that some ex-friend can't cancel your cards when they're pissed at you.
Have it set up so that the cameras start recording to remote storage (The security system could start emailing clips to an email address hosted with unmetered storage and also broadcast to a local wireless battery powered recorder hidden somewhere.) when an alarm is triggered.
Have a heat recovery ventilator or two on the ground floor, so you're less tempted to have (and then leave) a window open.
Have a foyer between your outer door and your secure door. This way you can let people in out of the cold who you don't want to let into the rest of the house, and it's easy to slowly fill the foyer with something intolerably stinky (eg. anhydrous ammonia) if your alarm says someone is making a serious attempt to break in past the inner door. It also gives people who came to visit but can't get in someplace warm to wait while you come home. You could also have a "local calls only" phone in there so that someone who needs to borrow a phone doesn't need to come into your house to borrow it.
A friend who spoke to a thief in prison told me that multi-point locks and an inflexible door frame are beneficial for doors that you want to be secure.
You could also use Soss or Tectus hinges and make it difficult for a stranger to determine which way the door opens.
If you're recording serial numbers, for devices that connect wirelessly, you could record Mac Address & IMEI numbers, since those can't be quickly scraped off.
Help bolster world honeybee populations by keeping bees at home and put a DC solenoid under the hive that the security system can connect to AC power.
I'm sure the legislation will go nowhere. It's just a means for politicians to avoid spending their time in a different manner and to engage in their favorite game: trying to look good while forcing other politicians to look bad.
However, maybe some airline will pay enough attention to the commentary on the politics to consider the idea of instituting quiet flights. It'll probably take a little while for passengers who violate the quiet flight social compact to be banned from purchasing tickets on those flights, but soon enough, airlines will be able to charge extra for tickets on quiet flights and also charge extra for providing cell phone enabling technology on noisy flights. Then they'll graduate to putting both quiet and noisy sections on the same giant airplane, and changing your previously chosen seat assignment while you're waiting in line to get on the plane.
I'm looking forward to when Amtrack gets wifi on transcontinental routes.
Wait, what does the time of day have to do with thermodynamics?
Thermodynamics is already being blamed for the heat death of the universe, even though that hasn't happened yet. It tends to drink a lot, which can leave it hung over in the morning sometimes.
For GPU Virtualization in a laptop or AIO desktop. I want the CAD & image editing software I run on a copy of WinXP or Win7 kept in a virtual environment to be able to talk to the GPU (but not the internet).
So long as the digital replacement gets the same Federally mandated quality, reliability, financial availability, etc. I'm fine with modernizing the actual technology used to implement the infrastructure. The replacement just has to be equally robust, have equal call clarity every time, have equal ability to continue to work during a long power outage, be equally inexpensive and available for rural old people - all at the same time. Since it's better technology, that shouldn't be a problem.
I think it's about switching the signal on the copper from analog to digital. Not necessarily bad, except that I believe there's Federal regulations about maintaining quality & reliability (& supplying a little bit of power) at a reasonable price for analog over copper, but the same regulations don't exist for digital over copper. Analog phone service is somewhat in the Utility category, whereas digital service is not.
What about the person on vacation who knows why the circuit breaker keeps tripping and what to do about it, and how to get the stand-by generator to come on and actually run the lift?
I thought it took three people to incorporate, but maybe that's just a rule for a particular state. I think it would be nice to give corporations fewer legal rights than individuals, since I think that (without a special organizational structure I haven't seen yet) they're inherently less capable of moral behavior than individuals, but now that they can legally donate to politicians, I doubt I'll see that result anytime soon.
Corporations can easily be executed, by revoking their corporate charter. The problem is that the individual people who make up the corporation don't necessarily feel the pain, so they gather themselves back together and form a new corporation tomorrow.

Is this a "permission from the FCC" thing? I got on Jolla's mailing list, tried to purchase when they said that the were taking orders, found out I couldn't, and then later gave money to the Neo N900 guys, because even though they seem to be very small and in early stages of development, they're willing to do business with me.
I don't think so. This isn't about future consumers. It's about future employees. I imagine that the kids who match the profile they seek get an offer of coding trade school tuition in exchange for a few years of indentured servitude (bringing "european apprenticeship traditions" to the USA).
"or contractor" won't get you results according to the quote. The FOIA requester should write a regex search, pass it to Snowden, and get back a more specific and detailed request that would bypass the current objections. I doubt they'd actually get their information, even if their requests were quite specific.
I can think of dozens of tasks being done by thousand dollar PLCs that could be done by this thing instead. I can think of many other instances where industrial automation was foregone due to the price that could be affordably done with this sort of thing. It's especially nice to be able to solve problems without getting locked in to some manufacturer's proprietary gravy train.
Those bullying Yanks - imagine trying to use a provision in the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, just like other countries do.
Yeah, I'm one of 'em. I learned about this when I was on a boat impounded in St. John's for a couple weeks after fishing crab off the Flemish cap. Before we went out there the company called everyone in the Canadian government they could think of and was given a "no problem so far as I know" as we were outside 200 miles and in deeper than 200 fathoms. From the legal adventures that followed, I learned that, at the time, neither Canada, nor the USA was signatory to Article 76, because neither wanted to do the delineation mentioned in paragraph 7. Canada made an internal law, the Oceans Act of 1996, that didn't require delineation and then uses the legal precedent with fishermen to secure the billion$ in petroleum out there. Knowing our Congress, I'd be surprised if they managed to agree on a law. It's easy enough to just use intimidation rather than setting up some sort of legal precedent.
As for the scallops, there's a photo of some scallop gear on this page. When you literally dredge the bottom for 'em with some of the heaviest commercial fishing gear in common use, it's easy to associate them with the bottom from which they're dredged.
I didn't say women are dumb. Being tolerant of less than ideal circumstances isn't always a bad strategy. Not being an egotistical petulant ass demanding higher wages at the first hint of success IS a different behavior from many men I've seen.
Furthermore, your counterargument makes no sense. If women naturally worked harder for less pay, then it would be smart for any business to increase the percentage of women in the pool of qualified applicants.
Please, call me names and swear some more, It's such beautiful rhetoric. I can barely contain my anticipation.
Try this definition. It's really special. Amusingly, in a dispute between US fisherman and the Canadian government, lawyers once successfully argued that scallops are not "sedentary species" because they don't push against the bottom to move themselves. USA loves this "continental shelf" extension past the old 200 mile limit for claiming petroleum resources in the Gulf of Mexico.
Why does it matter what chromosomes your coder bears?
Maybe the women are more likely to tolerate being underpaid. If training more coders is an effort to keep wages down, it might make sense to train a class of people who have historically worked for lower wages.
I believe that you personally are glad you went to business school. I believe that it's possible to learn useful things from one. It will take better behavior from the business school graduate laden corporate entities around me before I'll believe they're a net plus for society.

Here's a couple of other thoughts:

When you made that calculation, did you figure for the difference in state income tax? WA has none. CA's high bracket is over 10%.
